Hello,Everyone calls me Whiskey.I belong to several forums for my breed.I currently own 4 dogs of my own, my son has 1,andhubby has 1,All APBT's.I have been with the breed for almost 20 years total,but hands on for now about 14 years.I was originally with German shepherds,but wanted a dog with more drive,morehandle,and a helluva lot less hair at shedding time!!

I live in HancockCounty Mississippi,which received the direct impact of Hurricane Katrina recently.Pre storm,I was active in weightpulling,and was starting off with conformation.Unfortunately,I lost everything,all that was precious to me,but we are here,and we have our health.We have started healing and are in the process of trying to rebuild.(absolutely no thanks to FEMA.LOl)

I spent many years in the clinics working as everything from kennelmanager to Tech.I housed the only APBT/AST rescue in South MS pre-storm.I work closely with many local clinics,rescues,and law enforcementagencies,being the only person this way willing and capable of handling the breed.I have dealt with legislative tactics and BSL bull.I actively study into legal aspects of EVERYTHING.My dad(RIP) was an officer and a fireman,so I am into everything like that.I guess I get the passion for it from him.I have also worked as a groomer for several years,and still do a few cuts on the side for friends,lol.

For many years I raised and worked with horses.My first love was the rodeo circuit,but I spent more time on the track.I tended to like the rough,hard to handle ones,that no one else wanted to have to deal with,lol.Maybe that is why I love my chioce of breeds so much.

I also work with our local wildlife rehab centers.I work mainly with squirrels and reptiles,but have also handled quite a few raptors and wildcats.Just as the dogs,we rescue,rehabilitate,and release or rehome.

If there is anything else you would like to know,feel free to ask me.]
